Today I just want to get something off my chest.

It kills me to see even experienced golfers shorten their stroke and “jab” at the ball when they attempt a short chip.  Actually I like it because I know I’m going to win the hole and make my money but it still irritates me for some reason and gambling aside, here’s a good way for you to kill the nerves and stop flipping the dang clubhead at the ball.

One excellent suggestion is to channel the late, great Bruce Lee.  That’s right, we’re going to karate chop this bad boy right next to the cup.  Here’s how to practice:

Without your wedge, get in your normal position to hit a chip.  Bring your left hand away and rest it loosely on your left thigh.  Swing your right arm back as if you’re about to hit a 12-yard chip and come back down your target line with your right palm facing away from your body as it passes over the ball (where your clubhead would strike it). 

By “karate chopping” your way through the impact zone, you’ll eliminate that excess wrist movement and feel smoother through impact because you’re no longer “flipping” the club at the ball.

Now practice this drill over and over with a wedge in your hands and 2 hands on the club.  Trust me, you’ll stop feeling nervous and actually look forward to being 10-15 yards from the pin, knowing that the money’s already in the hole.

Thanks for reading.  Good luck, good hustling.
